Pros

Good team environment, challenging work, lots of ever-changing experience, good managers and co-workers. Good balance of work/play within the company. Lots of fun teambuilding activities, bbq's, get-togethers, etc.

Cons

Very political environment in regards to promotions, not a lot of lateral movement. Once you're in a position you're likely to stay and max out at that salary position given they don't tend to promote within.

Pros

Good benefits, lots of commute options and great facilities. Can't beat the advantages of being a GNE employee.

Cons

Its a big company and there is lots of burocracy. There is a tendency to do things a certain way because they "have always been done this way before"

It can be difficult to advance in your position. Clarity on the requirements has increased, but it can take a long time to reach the next step
